BioShock Novel Resurfaces for March Release

[Steve the Pocket]

"Golfing accident." Hurr hurr.

Anyway, good luck making that part (assuming it's in the book) not sound hopelessly contrived and implausible. Like I've said before, it squeaked by in the game because it brilliantly deconstructed a common trope of first-person video games made after Half-Life, and also because people tend not to question things in a video game, but it would never fly in another medium.

If it does work, then hey, maybe we've got a good new source to draw from for the movie, if they ever get around to making it.

I think Bioshock's a pretty cool guy. Eh runs a city underwater and doesn't afraid of anything.

Is it from the same guy who wrote the script for the game? If yes, then I'm definitely interested.

Nope. Just some sci-fi guy.

I'm definitely buying this. As much as I loved wandering through a ruined Rapture, I really want to 'see' what the city was really like when it was still functioning.
If the book ends up being terrible, oh well, at least I'll have a book with a pretty cover sitting on my shelf.

Seeing as the literary medium is unable to utilize the worst part of Bioshock, but can use the good parts, if not to their full potential, this could be a very good read.
